Title: East and West Rush Lake Report
Post by: HD on August 08/10/21, 04:46:28 PM
This is a warning from the Rush Point Store, please share if needed.

Just an fyi so you are well informed and can inform others. This is East Rush Lake. With the warm weather, shallow waters, and high Temps, Blue Green Algae blooms are forming and this can be extremely toxic to humans and pets. This was at Flickabirds dock, take this and do what you will with it but I advise you to stay out of these waters and do not let your pets in them as well, please spread the word and keep your family and fur babies safe.

No,the lake water was pure/clean so it didn't register until this thread,he puked up his food and was fine after that ,so it was just a little tainted water at the time,nothing like your pic,ishta.
